Under the above provisions of the constitution, the legislature in 1877 created four appellate courts, and provided districts as follows: the first to consist of the county of Cook; the second to include all of the northern grand division of the supreme court, except the county of Cook; the third to consist of the central grand division of the supreme court; and the fourth the southern grand division of the supreme court. Each court to be held by three of the judges of the circuit court, to be assigned by the supreme court, three to each district, for the term of three- years, at each assignment.
Two terms of the appellate court are held in each district in every year.

ILLINOIS-HISTORICAL AND STATISTICAL.
One presiding justice is chosen in each district by the judges thereof, for such time and in such manner as they may determine. Two judges constitute a quorum, and the concurrence of two is necessary to a decision.
Appellate-court clerks are elected, one for each district, and hold' office six years. The appellate courts have appellate jurisdiction only, and have jurisdiction of all matters of appeal or writs of error from the final judgments, orders, or decrees of any of the circuit courts, or the superior court of Cook County, or from the city courts, in any suit or proceeding at law or in chancery other than criminal cases, and cases involving a franchise or freehold, or the validity of a statute. Appeals and writs of error lie from the final orders, judgments, or decrees of the circuit or city courts, and from the superior court of Cook County, directly to the supreme court, in all criminal cases, and in cases involving a franchise or freehold, or the validity of a statute. In all cases determined in the appellate courts, in actions ex-contractu (except those involving a penalty), wherein the amount involved is less than one thousand dollars, exclusive of costs, and in all cases sounding in damages, wherein the judgment of the court below is less than one thousand dollars, exclusive of costs, and the judgment is affirmed or otherwise finally disposed of in the appellate court, the judgment, order, or decree of the appellate court shall be final, and no appeal shall lie or writ of error be prosecuted therefrom. In all other cases, appeals shall lie and writs of error may be prosecuted from the final judgments, orders, or decrees of the appellate courts to the supreme court. A majority of the judges of the appellate court may, however, if they be of the opinion that any case decided by them, involving a less sum than one thousand dollars, also involves questions of law of such importance, either on account of principal or collateral interests, as that it should be passed upon by the supreme court, in such cases, grant appeals and writs of error to the supreme court, on petition of parties to the cause, in which case they shall certify to the supreme court the grounds upon which the appeal is granted.
The law establishing the appellate courts went into effect July 1, 1877, the election of circuit judges took place in August, and the first assignment of appellate judges was made by the supreme court at the September term, in the same year.
These are substantially the constitutional and statutory provisions as to the organization and jurisdiction of the appellate courts.
Circuit Courts :
The constitution provides that the circuit courts shall have original jurisdiction of all causes in law and equity, and such appellate jurisdiction as is or may be provided by law, and shall hold two or more terms each year in every county. The judges are elected by districts, and hold office six years.
Section 13 of the judiciary article of the constitution provides that the State, exclusive of Cook and other counties having a population of 100,000, shall be divided into judicial circuits, to be formed of contiguous counties, and not over one circuit for each 100,000 population; one judge to be elected for each circuit. The first election for circuit judges was required to be held on the first Monday in June, 1873, and every six years thereafter.
The legislature, in 1873, in accordance with above section, divided the State, exclusive of Cook County, into twenty-six judicial circuits, and at the election in June, 1873, one judge was elected for each circuit, for the term of six years.
Section 15 of the judiciary article of the constitution provides that the general assembly may divide the State into judicial circuits of greater population and

territory, in lieu of the circuits provided for in section 13 of this article, and pro- vide for the election therein, severally, by the electors thereof, by general ticket, of not exceeding four judges, who shall hold the circuit courts in the circuit for which they shall be elected, in suclı manner as may be provided by law.
By act in force July 1, 1877, in order to increase the number of circuit judges, and to provide for the organization of the appellate courts, the State was divided into thirteen districts, exclusive of Cook County, and provision made for the election of one additional judge in each district, in August, 1877, for two years, making three judges in each district and thirty-nine in the State. The election took place in August accordingly, and in September following the supreme court assigned twelve of the circuit judges to appellate duty, and the remaining judges held the circuit courts in their respective districts.
In June, 1879, three judges were elected in each of the thirteen judicial circuits, as created by the act of 1877. A second assignment was made by the supreme court of circuit judges for appellate duty, at the June term, 1879, and the remain- ing judges perform circuit duty in the districts for which they were respectively elected. Other assignments have since followed in due course.
Courts of Cook County :
The constitution of 1870 recognizes Cook County as a unit in the judiciary system of the State, by providing that the supreme court may hold one or more sessions each year in the city of Chicago, whenever suitable rooms are provided, without expense to the State; and also constitutes the county of Cook one judicial circuit, and excepts the county in the districting of the State by the legislature into circuits.
The circuit court of Cook County is made to consist of five judges, until their number shall be increased as provided by the constitution. The constitution pro- vides that the general assembly may increase the number of judges by adding one for every additional 50,000 inhabitants in the county over and above a population of 400,000. The term of office of the judges of the Cook County circuit court is also six years.
The superior court of Chicago, established by law, 1849, formerly the Cook- County court of common pleas, was continued by the constitution, and called the superior court of Cook County. The constitution provides for an increase of judges of the superior court the same as the circuit court of Cook County.
By an act of 1875, it is provided that for every 50,000 inhabitants over and above 400,000 in Cook County there shall be added one judge, until the court shall be composed of nine judges. It is also made the duty of the governor, whenever he shall ascertain from the census that the county of Cook is entitled to one or more additional judger, to issue a writ of 'election therefor, for the number to which the county is entitled.
Accordingly, it appearing by the United States census of 1880 that the popu- lation of the county of Cook exceeded 400,000, an election was ordered to be held for four additional judges of the superior court of Cook County, at the November election, 1880, and the court increased by that number in accordance with the statute of 1875.
The above concise history of the State courts, and a comprehensive though brief outline of the State's judicial system to the present time is revised from a sketch for the legislative directory of 1884, by Norman L. Freeman, supreme-court reporter.
